SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information 

A. Does this action apply to me? 

You may be potentially affected by 

this action if you are an agricultural 

producer, food manufacturer, or 

pesticide manufacturer. The following 

list of North American Industrial 

Classification System (NAICS) codes is 

not intended to be exhaustive, but rather 

provides a guide to help readers 

determine whether this document 

applies to them. Potentially affected 

entities may include: 

• Crop production (NAICS code 111). 

• Animal production (NAICS code 

112). 

• Food manufacturing (NAICS code 

311). 

• Pesticide manufacturing (NAICS 

code 32532). 

B. What should I consider as I prepare 

my comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this 

information to EPA through 

regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark 

the part or all of the information that 

you claim to be CBI. For CBI 

information in a disk or CD–ROM that 

you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the 

disk or CD–ROM as CBI and then 

identify electronically within the disk or 

CD–ROM the specific information that 

is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 

complete version of the comment that 

includes information claimed as CBI, a 

copy of the comment that does not 

contain the information claimed as CBI 

must be submitted for inclusion in the 

public docket. Information so marked 

will not be disclosed except in 

accordance with procedures set forth in 

40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for preparing your comments. 

When preparing and submitting your 

comments, see the commenting tips at 

https://www.epa.gov/dockets/

comments.html. 

3. Environmental justice. EPA seeks to 

achieve environmental justice, the fair 

treatment and meaningful involvement 

of any group, including minority and/or 

low-income populations, in the 

development, implementation, and 

enforcement of environmental laws, 

regulations, and policies. To help 

address potential environmental justice 

issues, the Agency seeks information on 

any groups or segments of the 

population who, as a result of their 

location, cultural practices, or other 

factors, may have atypical or 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health impacts or environmental 

effects from exposure to the pesticides 

discussed in this document, compared 

to the general population. 

II. What action is the Agency taking? 

EPA is announcing receipt of a 

pesticide petition filed under section 

408 of the Federal Food, Drug, and 

Cosmetic Act (FFDCA), 21 U.S.C. 346a, 

requesting the establishment or 

modification of regulations in 40 CFR 

part 180 for residues of pesticide

chemicals in or on various food 

commodities. The Agency is taking 

public comment on the request before 

responding to the petitioner. EPA is not 

proposing any particular action at this 

time. EPA has determined that the 

pesticide petition described in this 

document contains data or information 

prescribed in FFDCA section 408(d)(2), 

21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(2); however, EPA has 

not fully evaluated the sufficiency of the 

submitted data at this time or whether 

the data supports granting of the 

pesticide petition. After considering the 

public comments, EPA intends to 

evaluate whether and what action may 

be warranted. Additional data may be 

needed before EPA can make a final 

determination on this pesticide petition. 

Pursuant to 40 CFR 180.7(f), a 

summary of the petition that is the 

subject of this document, prepared by 

the petitioner, is included in a docket 

EPA has created for this rulemaking. 

The docket for this petition is available 

at https://www.regulations.gov. 

As specified in FFDCA section 

408(d)(3), 21 U.S.C. 346a(d)(3), EPA is 

publishing notice of the petition so that 

the public has an opportunity to 

comment on this request for the 

establishment or modification of 

regulations for residues of pesticides in 

or on food commodities. Further 

information on the petition may be 

obtained through the petition summary 

referenced in this unit. 

A. Notice of Filing—Amended 

Tolerances for Inerts 

PP IN–11655. EPA–HQ–OPP–2022– 

0850. Corteva Agriscience, 9330 

Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268, 

requests to amend the tolerance 

descriptor under 40 CFR 180.560 for 

residues of cloquintocet-mexyl (acetic 

acid, [(5-chloro-8-quniolinyl)oxy]-, 1- 

methylhexyl ester)(CAS Reg. No. 99607– 

70–2) and its acid metabolite (5-chloro8-quinlinoxyacetic acid). Corteva is 

requesting that the active ingredients 

listed in the tolerance expression be 

removed so that the safener can be used 

in any herbicide formulation applied to 

the commodities listed. There is no 

proposed change to the numerical 

tolerance or the listed commodities 

under § 180.560, as such, this action 

will not change the magnitude of the 

residues already established for this 

safener. Adequate enforcement 

methodologies have already been 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 29, 2011 (76 FR 38035) (FRL– 

8877–2). The two enforcement methods 

available are High Performance Liquid 

Chromatography with Ultraviolet 

Detection (HPLC–UV) Method REM 

138.01 for the determination of 

cloquintocet-mexyl (parent) and the 

HPLC–UV Method REM 138.10 which 

allows for determination of its acid 

metabolite. Contact: RD. 

B. Notice of Filing—New Tolerance 

Exemptions for Non-Inerts (Except PIPS) 

PP 3F9054. EPA–HQ–OPP–2023– 

0561. GreenLight Biosciences, Inc. 200 

Boston Ave., Suite 1000, Medford, MA 

02155, requests to establish an 

exemption from the requirement of a 

tolerance in 40 CFR part 180 for 

residues of the miticide vadescana 

dsRNA in or on honey and honeycomb. 

The petitioner believes no analytical 

method is needed based on the low 

toxicity demonstrated in the available 

toxicological data. Contact: BPPD.

residues of the plant-incorporated 

protectants (PIPs) Bacillus thuringiensis 

Vpb4Da2 and Brevibacillus laterosporus 

Mpp75Aa1.1 in or on corn. The 

petitioner believes no analytical method 

is needed because this petition is for a 

permanent exemption from the 

requirement of a tolerance without 

numerical limitation. Contact: BPPD.

(trifluoromethyl)-2-pyridinamine) in or 

on pear, Asian at 0.2 parts per million

quantitation by GC is used to measure 

and evaluate the chemical 

pendimethalin and its 3,5-dinitrobenzyl 

alcohol metabolite (M455H025).
